Slavery in the North was illegal, but racism wasn't. In fact, it was encouraged.

I'm still wondering how the antagonism between the North and South developed, and why the North seemed to want to demonize the South over the slavery issue, when the North had its own slavery past. I say "seemed" because I really don't have any facts, just things I've read on this board, and things I've heard.
